his iG-LGD match cast at TI2 is still my favorite analysis of any game ever, i think.

Kind of sad on one hand, but really happy to see more casts from him he's SO GOOD. Even his pub game on the fly comments about the on-going game are more entertaining and educative then some pro-game casts.. Gl Synd!!!

Probably too late, he has been a better caster than a player for a long time now.

He wanted to be remembered as a player, not a caster but things whether deserved or not just never worked out for him

I really feel the opposite is true. The last time I remember a single game where Synderin was a major factor on a major team was before the Eastern world had gotten into Dota 2 yet. It's also part of why he went to so many big tournies, they were easy picking to get into back then and since those days how many teams has he been kicked off?

He is a great caster and for the first year of the Dota beta being picked up for tournaments I personally would like to thank him for letting me hear Tobi fifty percent less due to him joining in casts. But he really seemed to not last long on teams, and there was no single team I can think of where he was the strongest player. Just the most well known, kind of like Sing Sing but for different reasons.

Well Synd was letting his team down. The opposite can be said for Sing Sing in his Mouz/QPad team.

The only statement that Tobi has ever said, to which I agree with, is that Synderen is "a four letter word that starts with S".


Tobi called Synderen a slut?

Just kidding, for reference. All the best Synd, you're a great caster. Loved your recent BTS castings, do much more please!

It's the right choice, he had an awesome career but he wasn't going to go anywhere with mouz

I really enjoy Synderen's casting, so I can't wait to see how far he can go with it!

after his TI3 performance where he single handedly doomed mouse with his picks/play i thought he would make that step earlier. but at least he is doing it now. his time ended long ago and now its for him to shine as a caster mb. i really enjoyed his co-castings and he should stick to that. anyway gl for his new way

Synd, it's too late... Tobi has moved on, he's with the Capitalist now you took too long.

He's so personable, his casting has such humor, I want anything that gives him more time casting!

Synderen always had strong analytical thinking but the mechanical shortcomings during gameplay would always hold him and his team back. Let's face it, he was pretty bad for a pro player. Moving full time into a casting role is the best decision he's made. He certainly has the game insight and he even has a good voice for it. I really enjoyed his casting before and I look forward to hearing even more of his casting in the future. The big thing that most of the mainstream casters currently lack is an actual deep understanding of the game. Too often I hear certain popular casters say just the most idiotic things or say things that are just dead wrong. Synderen is here to rectify this!
